Tile & Grout
The tile & grout cluster: a tile layout / count by size & pattern, a grout calculator (lb by labeled tile-size/joint coverage), a thinset / mortar coverage calculator (bags by trowel notch), a backsplash tile calculator, and a tile-spacing / grout-joint reference. Grout and thinset coverage are labeled typicals — confirm on the bag.
Confirm coverage against your product’s box/spec sheet and buy 5–10% extra for cuts, waste and future repairs. Coverage and box sizes vary by brand.
Typical industry planning values. These are typical planning values — confirm against the manufacturer’s install instructions and your product’s spec sheet.
Tile Layout & Count CalculatorWork out how many tiles you need for a floor: enter the area, pick a waste factor and a tile size, and get the tile count rounded up to whole tiles.Grout CalculatorEstimate how many pounds of grout your tile floor needs and how many 25-lb bags to buy, using a labeled coverage by tile size and joint width.Thinset & Mortar Coverage CalculatorEstimate how many bags of thinset mortar you need to set a tile floor, using a labeled coverage per 50-lb bag by trowel notch size.Backsplash Tile CalculatorWork out how many tiles or mosaic sheets a backsplash needs: enter wall length, height and openings, add a waste factor, and get the units to buy.Tile-Spacing & Grout-Joint ReferenceLook up the typical grout-joint width for mosaic, ceramic and porcelain, large-format and natural-stone tile — a labeled planning reference for spacers.
Every Tile & Grout tool is calculated server-side — visible immediately — with its formula, a worked example and a reference table, and works on the quantities you measure and the prices you enter from your own quotes. Background reading is in the guides.
